Don Hewer - ex RWF

Attachment 2877

From Pat Provis:

It is with great sadness that we have to report the sad death of Ex L/Cpl Don Hewer, formerly 3 Platoon, A Coy, 1RWF at Ysbty Gwynedd at approximately 0800 this morning. Don fought bravely to the end, but sadly his body could take no more. I know all our thoughts and prayers are with Don who is now watching over us from the ever swelling ranks of the glorious 23rd in the sky! Our thoughts and prayers are with entire family at this very sad time. Details to follow. On a personal note, all i can bring myself to say amongst the tears is, Save me a place by your side mate, I'll gladly serve with you again it was an honour and a privilege. Prov. out....

RIP Don

R I P Don and God Bless, until we meet again on that big parade square in the sky. My thoughts are with your Family & Friends ay this sad time. I Salute you my friend and brother. Ich Dien.

Its very sad Lofty. Don was an old mucker from our 3PL days. I was just looking back through his Olympic Torch pics, an accolade that was richly deserved, a very brave man. Deepest sympathy to Dons family. A great lad and a fine Royal Welchman.

It is indeed Al, i have personally known the Hewers for years and years (going back to the 70's), and i have just informed some of my family members of the sad news and they are as gutted as i am

Yet more very sad news and another good man taken deepest sympathy to Don's family.
RIP mate.

Very sad news indeed had many great moments with Don and he will be sadly missed,my thoughts go out to brother Ken and all the family at this sad time,RIP mate until we meet again xxx

Cant believe yet another Royal Welchman has been taken from us..1 week he was carrying the Olympic torch which made us all very proud of him and then this..He fought to the bitter end with pride and humour.Please let us know when the funeral is..

Always sad news to read of the loss of people we knew, served with and respected.

As in all such situations, our thoughts are with his family and friends at this difficult and painful time.
